CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What if we were to give you the power to make this official policy. If a woman who was a victim of rape would die in childbirth, would we charge the rapist with murder, since he assaulted her, or you, since you prevented her from having an abortion?

Well... if you are giving me the power to make that decision, the rapist would be out of the picture because he would be exicuted for the rape.Archivist said:
I will refer to my first answer for the rest. I ONLY support abortion when the life of the mother is on the line....All other Abortion is Murder!

So in our hypothetical situation, you would take no responsibility for your role in the death of this woman.

Because my hypothetical was that you have been given power to set policy and you have decided to ban abortions in these cases. Yes, the rapist was the one who got her pregnant, however you were the one who prevented her from having the abortion that could have saved her life. It seems to me that you have some responsibility here.

Please read my first post again.Archivist said:
I am pretty sure that I said that if the mothers life was in danger, that taking the life of the baby would be acceptable, but ONLY if the the life of the mother was in danger.
However, I think that we could both agree that these situations would be few and far between.

I would never have wanted to terminate a pregnancy myself, but I think mothers should have the right to choose up to the 12th week of gestation.

Only acceptable in the case where either the baby or mother would die from childbirth, or if it was a case of a rape pregnancy.ej said:Please vote in the poll, and expand your answer below

I believe when a woman becomes pregnant her life dose not just belong to her anymore but also to her unborn childs.If shes mature enough to have sex then she should be mature enough to have the kid.Abortion is not the answer and should not be used as some sort of birth control.By the way i voted Abortion is murder. God Bless

That is actually a Great Question and I'm glad you asked....lolCCGirl said:
It's a question tough one to answer too. It is hard eneough for me to understand what Gods Purpose for me is in my own life. Much less in yours....lol
The problem:
Again, I think this would be few and far between, but.....
In this rare situation, someone is going to die....either the Mother or the Child. Who are we to make that decission as to which one goes....Mom or baby?
The Answer:
The only way that I know to answer the question is to reflect back on my 20 years of experience as a firefighter/emt. And that is to ask my own question... Which one is more Savable? That is the decision that has to be made and someone has to make it. That is the question that I have had to ask myself more times than I care to discuss.

Yes, I realize that you did say that. Sometimes a dangerous pregnancy can be predicted in advance. Sometimes, however, it cannot be predicted. I'm speaking of the situation where a woman is raped, would like to have an abortion but cannot because you have outlawed abortions for victims of rape, then goes into labor and unexpectedly dies in childbirth. She would have lived but for your decision to stop her from having an abortion. I am asking what responsibility you would take for this.
